I was going to use the classic Midibox SID v2 board (i'm not sure the proper way to reference it, but the one that only holds one chip) vs the fancy pants MB6582. I'm probably getting in over my head with this whole thing, but with a lack of good pre-built hardware options (Therapsid I considered, but I want the ability to add more chips if necessary and also as cool as the knobs are, it annoys me that I can't capture their values in my DAW due to the lack of midi out) I'm getting desperate. That said, I'm not sure I want to invest in a programmer just to program 2 or so chips. I'm might just be SOL. Thank you for the info, though.

Would one of these do it? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EQ1Y4BU

I'm jumping on the Midibox bandwagon late I realize, but I want to make a Midibox SID unit... From what I can tell the number one source for this was smashtv's Midiboxshop but he's out of stock of the kits and even if i ordered the general parts from a standard electronics dealer I'd still have the problem of needing programmed PICs, which he's out of stock of as well. I tried emailing him a while back and heard nothing so I suspect I can't hope that he'll have things in stock again anytime soon. Is there another source in the US for programmed PICs and Midibox specific parts or do I need to order from one of the international stores?

I realize I'm a newb here, but its been half a year since the OP and not a word from Wilba... seems this is unlikely to happen. Is TherapSid the only option out there these days? I'd be all for it except for the lack of midi output. It seems shame to have all those knobs but not be able to control the parameters displayed in my DAW.

I just signed up, but how realistic is it that this order will happen? Has anyone heard from Wilba?
